Imagine being the guy who decided to rearrange the letters on a keyboard from an alphabetical arrangement to the current QWERTY layout.I bet he got teased endlessly by people who thought he was off his rocker.
I checked out the history of the modern QWERTY keyboard on Wikipedia, and its invention dates back all the way to 1874 with the creation of the first typewriter. I didn't realize it had been around for so long.
Its layout is ingrained in our brains now, so much so that I find it hard to text message on a phone that has its keys arranged in alphabetical order.
Part of this could very well be due to the fact that I have a rather old phone and it takes forever to text message on it, but I insist it's partially the un-Qwerty-ness!
